I swapped my 92 KA stock to a 95 KA stock. Everything seems to be connected but there's no power going to the coil? Any ideas or anyone that can check it out?

If you are not getting power to the coil, check the distributor. Make sure your distributor cap is not faulty or maybe the rotor on the distributor is damaged. Try removing the distributor form the head, keep the key in the on position and sping the gear rotor for the distributor. You should either hear or see the spark. To see the spark you can remove a spark plug and connected to the coil wire, rotate the distributor and see if you got spark. Do the same on all 4. If you don't get spark on all, then distributor is faulty, wether is the distributor cap or the distributor itself.

Cap and rotor are brand new. The distributor I got from Alex with the KA-AE86 so it should be in good condition. We rigged up an MSD 6AL and Blaster Coil and we got a spark but the engine still doesn't turn over. It cranks but nothing. If anyone is willing to help me out for some food let me know. I swear you'll eat the best burger ever guaranteed.

so you are getting spark from the coil..have you checked to see if you are getting spark at the wires..take a plug connected to a plug wire and see if it arcs..if no spark or weak spark..you could have the timing set wrong(couple teeth off or more)..take to top dead center and reset the distributor..

I'm actually using the 92 coil and then used the Blaster 2 from MSD. The wires arch now but negative on liftoff. We'll reset the distributor tomorrow as we are out of light tonight.

Yeah. The MSD was rigged quickly to double check if it was the coil itself and we got a spark but still no ignition.

good call...before messing with distributor..shoot some quick start in the intake. if starts, fuel is your problem..also smell spark plugs for fuel. if possible borrow a noid lights to check injector pulse.if the quick start doesnt work..then mess with distributor..

We ran out of light today but tomorrow we are checking the distributor and the two fuel lines we think could be crossed. Like I said if anyone is not working tomorrow and is willing to help, I will grill some mean fucking burgers.
